33.Sh NAME
34.Nm auditon
35.Nd "Configure system audit parameters"
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In bsm/audit.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn auditon "int cmd" "void *data" "u_int length"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43system call is used to manipulate various audit control operations.
44.Ft *data
45should point to a structure whose type depends on the command.
46.Ft length
47specifies the size of the
48.Em data
49in bytes.
50.Ft cmd
51may be any of the following:
52.Bl -tag -width ".It Dv A_GETPINFO_ADDR"
53.It Dv A_SETPOLICY
54Set audit policy flags.
55.Ft *data
56must point to a long value set to one of the audit
57policy control values defined in
58.Pa audit.h .
59Currently, only
60.Dv AUDIT_CNT
61and
62.Dv AUDIT_AHLT
63are implemented.
64In the
65.Dv AUDIT_CNT
66case, the action will continue regardless if
67an event will not be audited.
68In the
69.Dv AUDIT_AHLT
70case, a
71.Xr panic 9
72will result if an event will not be written to the
73audit log file.
74.It Dv A_SETKAUDIT
75Return
76.Er ENOSYS .
77.It Dv A_SETKMASK
78Set the kernel preselection masks (success and failure).
79.Ft *data
80must point to a
81.Ft au_mask_t
82structure containing the mask values.
83These masks are used for non-attributable audit event preselection.
84.It Dv A_SETQCTRL
85Set kernel audit queue parameters.
86.Ft *data
87must point to a
88.Ft au_qctrl_t
89structure containing the
90kernel audit queue control settings:
91.Va high water ,
92.Va low water ,
93.Va output buffer size ,
94.Va percent min free disk space ,
95and
96.Em delay
97(not currently used).

107.It Dv A_SETCOND
108Set the current auditing condition.
109.Ft *data
110must point to a long value containing the new
111audit condition, one of
112.Dv AUC_AUDITING ,
113.Dv AUC_NOAUDIT ,
114or
115.Dv AUC_DISABLED .
116.It Dv A_SETCLASS
117Set the event class preselection mask for an audit event.

122.It Dv A_SETPMASK
123Set the preselection masks for a process.
124.Ft *data
125must point to a
126.Ft auditpinfo_t
127structure that contains the given process's audit
128preselection masks for both success and failure.
129.It Dv A_SETFSIZE
130Set the maximum size of the audit log file.
131.Ft *data
132must point to a
133.Ft au_fstat_t
134structure with the
135.Ft af_filesz
136field set to the maximum audit log file size. A value of 0
